The
Board of Trustees acts as the school district's policy-making body and is the official representative of the people in Lago Vista ISD. The Board functions according to state and federal laws, the rules and regulations established by the State Board of Education, the Texas Education Agency and the will of the people as expressed in district elections.
The school board is made up of elected representatives who serve with no salary and whose purpose is to govern the operation of the school district. While composed of individuals, the board can act only as a group. A majority of the Board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. Individual trustees, serving without pay, are elected for three-year terms on a rotating basis. Elections are conducted in May. While candidates run for specific positions on the ballot, they represent the entire district as Board members.
